The device is mounted with a case consisting preferably of two parts, a back member 1 which is adapted to be attached to any suitable-support, such as a wall or post, and carries the various parts of the mechanism,

and a cover member 2 which is adapted to be slid onto the back member 1 and is provided with a transparent panel or plate 3 in its front. In order to guide the cover member into position, the back member may be provided with a flange 5 at each side fitting in a guideway formed by flanges 6 and 7 on the end plates 8 of the cover member, the downward movement of the cover member being arrested by the lower end of its said flanges 6 and 7, thereon coming in contact with a shoulder 9 on the back member. The lower portion of the'front member, indicated at 10, extends obliquely downward and forward to contact with an upwardly bent portion 11 of the back member, when the cover is in position, said back member being bent forward and up at its lower end,

as shown, to form this upward extension 11.

On this portion 10 of the cover member is provided a series of tablets or indicating means 13, corresponding, for example, to the different classes of names on the list in the directory and below this series of indicating means is provided a series of push buttons or keys 14 sliding in the portion 11 of the case. and adapted to control the operation of the mechanism, as hereinafter set forth.

Within the case at the upper and lower portions thereof are provided two drums 18 and 19 mounted respectively on shafts 20 and 21, said drums carrying the sheet or curtain 22 for containing the list of names, or

advertising matter indicated at 15, for the wound from one roller to the other. Shafts 20 and 21 are mounted in bearings 16 and 17. The ends of the said curtain are secured to therespective drums 18 and 19, for example, by the means shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the peripheral cylindrical wall 23 of each drum having a longitudinal slot 24, through which the end portion of the curtain may be inserted and a plate 25 being mounted within the drum by pins 26 on the drum engaging in slots 27 on said plate 25, said slots extending obliquely with reference to the axis of the drum, so that on drawing the plate longitudinally it will be forced in a direction circumferentially of the drum under the edge. 28 of the cylindrical wall of the drum, so as to clamp and bind the curtain 22 between the plate 25 and the edge 28. Such longitudinal motion of the plate 25 may be effected by a screw 30 connected to said plate and engaged by a nut 31 outside of the end wall '33 of the drum, said nut engaging with said end wall to draw the plate 25 longitudinally. The lower drum 19 may be fast on its shaft 21, but the upper drum 18 is preferably rotatably mounted on its shaft 20 and is connected thereto by a yielding or elastic connection consisting of a spring 35 connected at one end to said shaft and at the other end to the end plate 33 of said drum. Gear wheels 36 and 37 are secured to the respective drums 18 and 19 to rotate therewith and engage with pinions 38 and 39 on a vertical shaft 40 mounted in bearings 41 on the back member of the case, drivingmeans being provided for said shaft consisting of a motor -43, a bevel gear 44 carried by said shaft 40 and a bevel gear 45 meshing with said bevel gear 44 and connected to be driven by the motor, an elastic connection 46 being preferably provided between the motor shaft 47 and the bevel gear 45, said elastic connection consisting, forexample, of a coil spring surrounding the motor shaft and connected at one end to a collar 48 on the motor shaft and at the other end to a pin 49 on a disk 50 connected to said bevel gear. Disk 50 has a notch 51, and a stop lever 52 pivoted at 52 to a fixed support, is held by a spring 53 in position to engage in said notch to stopthe rotations of the disk. Said lever 52 carries an armature 54 for an electromagnet 55, whereby the stop lever is released from notch 51 on energization of said electromagnet.

Means are provided for setting the driving, motor in operation under the control of the push buttons-14 aforesaid and for arresting the motion of the motor ata definite point in the movement of the curtain, such definite point of arrest being determined upon the push button being operated. This controlling means consists of a switch connected to a supply circuit, and to the motor to start, reverse and stop the motion, as

required, and a mechanical controlling de. vice for controlling the operation of said switch. Said mechanical controlling device comprises a shaft 56 carrying the movable member 57 of said switch, a shaft 58 operated by the shaft21' of the lower drum and a series of setsof controlling devices mounted on the respective shafts 56 and 58 aforesaid and controlling the operation of'the switch shaft 56 in accordance with the operation of the drum and of the respective push buttons-14. Shaft 58 carries a toothed wheel 60 operated by a pin 61 on back of lower gear 37, said pin engaging a tooth of saidwheel 60 at each revolution of the drum 19 to turn said wheel a distance corresponding to one tooth. Said pin also engages with a rounded or inclined plate 62 on a slide-bar 63 constituting a detent means and mounted to slide transversely on the shaft 58 of the wheel, 60 and having at its other end a projection 64 adapted to engage between two of the teeth on said wheel 60 to normally lock said wheel in fixed position, the conwheel to be turned one tooth by the pin; Said slide bar is returned to normal position by a bar 65 pivotally connected thereto and pivoted to a fixed support on the case, a

spring 66 engaging-with said bar .65 andwith said fixed support to move said slide bar to bring the. plate 62 thereon into posij tion for engagement gear 37.

The shaft 58 carries a series of disks 68 secured thereto to rotate therewith, said disks having peripheral recesses 69, the length and position of said recesses deterwith the in 61 on the miningthe point at which the movement of.

the curtain is arrested and being therefore different in each disk, there being one of these disks for each push button and a disk in forming apart of the controlling mechanism corresponding to the. push button. Each set of controlling devices comprises, in addition to the said disk 68, an operated member consisting of a disk '70 secured-to the switch shaft 56 to rotate therewith, this disk being termed the front disk with reference to Figs. 9 to 12, and determining the operation of the switch; an operating memberconsisting 'of, a rear disk 72 rot-atably mounted on the switch shaft 56 and adapt I ed to be operated by the recessed disk 68 aforesaid; and a controlling'member consisting of a disk 73. rotatably"mounted on the switch shaft 56 intermediate between the front and rear disks 70 and 72 and connected set, said intermediate or controlling disk being provided with means for controlling or engaging with the rear or operating disk to bring it into coiiperat-ive relation with the disk 68 and said disk 68 being provided with means for engagement with the front or operated disk to operate the same at the proper t me.

"The connection between the intermediate or controlling disk 73 and the push button 14; may consist of a lever 75 pivotally mount ed on the portion 11 of the case at 76 and extending downin the rear of a button 77 at the rear end of a stem 78 of push button 14, said lever 75 being connected at its lower end by rod 79 to an arm 80 on the intermediate disk 7 3, a spring 7 5 isv connected to lever 75 to return it to usual osition. Said intermediate disk 73 is pr'ovi ed' witha p ripheral recess 81 in which-extends a prijection 82 from the rear disk 72 and a pawl or anchor 83 is pivoted at 84. to the arm 80 of said intermediate disk and is adapted to engage in a peripheral notch 85 in said rear disk, being normally held in such engagement by a spring 86 connected to an inwardly extending arm 87 on said pawl or anchor and pivotally connected at 88 to a.

fixed support or bracket 89, said bracket being provided with a lug or portion 89 serving as a stop for limiting the angular movement of the arm 80.

The rear or operating disk 72 is provided 111 addition to the projection 82 with a pro: jection 90 extending into a recess 91 in the operated or front disk 70 and said rear disk is further provided with a peripheral projection or lug 92 adapted to extend into the recess 69 of the disk 68 and to be engaged by'the end wall of said recess in the rotation of said disk 68. Said rear disk is also provided with an arm 93 adapted to engage a,

fixed lug or stop 94 to limit the rotative movement of said disk,-said arm carrying a pawl or anchor 95 pivoted thereto at 95', and adapted to .engage witha peripheral notch 96 in the front disk 70. A spring 97 connected to an inwardly extending arm 98 of said pawl or anchor and pivotally connected at 99 to a fixed support 94, serves to hold the pawl or anchor'into or out of operative engagement with the front disk, the line of pressure of the spring. moving past the dead center with relation to the PIVOlE- 95 of the pawl or anchor member 95 in the rotative movement of the rear disk.

In the case of the last controlling device of the series, the lug 92 is omitted from the operating disk indicated at 72 in Fig. 20 the last button being intended to cause the drums to revolve to wind the curtain completely from one drum to the others In this operation the arrest of the parts is deter- .mined by a supplementary disk 68 provided with teeth 71 and 71 extending on opposite sides thereof and adapted to engage respectively with arms 74 and 74 on shaft 56.

The switch for controlling the motor circuit may be of anyusual or. suitable construction, consisting, for example, of a twoarmed lever 57 of insulating material carried by the shaft 56 andprovided with contacts 101, 102, 103 and 10 1 at one side of the pivot and contacts 101, 102, 103, and 104' at the other side of the switch, these contacts being adapted to coiiperate' respectively with pairs of fixed contacts 105, 106, 107, 10s, and 105', 106, 107', and 10s on an insulating support or base 100. The circuit connections may be as illustrated in Fig. 14, the supply connection from any suitable source of supply being brought to terminals 110. and 111. The motor is shown as a series. wound motor, the field coil 112 being connected to the supply line terminal 110 through a wire 113, the other end of the field' coil being connected by a wire 114' to one of the palrs of contacts 107, the other contact of said pair; being connected by wire 116 and wire 117 to one side of the armature, the other side of the armature being,

switch has made its contact on said other side. The electromagnet 55 controlling the stop mechanism may be included in series with the motor, as indicated in Fig. 1 1. A spring 122 is provided for throwing the switch quickly over the center and holding it in either position.

The operation is as follows: In normal position, the curtain 22 is wound wholly on the lower drum 19,. switch member 57 is in position shown in dotted lines in Fig.

15 opening motor circuit, electromagnet 55 is deenerg'ized, releasing its armature 5 1 and allowing stop lever 52 to engage in notch 51 in disk 50, locking the curtain in normal position. Detent' means 63 is in position shown in Fig. 6 in which its projection 64 engages between two of the teeth in the wheel 60 locking said wheel in normal position and in this position of the wheel 60 and of the shaft 58 carrying thesame, the disks 68 on saidrshaft 58 are in posit-ion with their recesses 69 opposite and adjacent to the controlling devlces on the shaft 56, so that the lugs 92 on the disks 72 for such controlling devices may'enter said recesses when operated, as hereinafter set forth.

engagement with the notch 85 in said disk 72 under the action of the spring'86. Pawl or anchor 95 is out of engagement with the notch 96 in the front disk being held out by the action of the spring 97 and extending over a peripheral portion of said disk in the rear of said notch. Projection 82 on the rear disk 72 is in engagement with the forward end of the notch in the recess 81 in the intermediate disk and the projection 90 on said rear disk is about midway of the length of the recess 91 in the front disk, said recess 91 being of considerable circumferential length so as to provide for a certain amount of lost motion in each direction as hereinafter set forth. Arm 93 on the rear member is in contact with the stop 94, the parts having been thrown back to the position after the release of the last operated push button first by the action of the spring 75 and finally by the action of the springs 86, 97 and 122.

A person who wishes to consult the directory first inspects the series of indicating tablets 13 and having found the one representing the class of information or the list of names he desires he presses the corresponding push button 14, thereby pressing back lever 75 against tension of the spring 75 and the rod 79 connected thereto and turning the intermediate member 73 around the shaft 56. In this turning movement of the arm 80, the pawl 83 by engagement in the notch 85 pushes the rear disk around with the intermediate disk 73. The front disk 70 remains stationary, being held so by the action of the spring of the switch and in this movement ofthe rear disk the projection 90 thereon rides forward to theforward end of the recess 91 in the front disk and then in its further forward movement engages with the forward end of said recess to turn the front disk forward sufficient to move the switch from position shown in dotted lines to position shown in full lines in Fig. 15. In this final part of the movement of the intermediate disk 73, the pawl 83 thereon moves past the position in which the pivotal centers of the spring 86 are in line with the pivotal axis of the pawl 83, so that the tension of said spring throws the pawl out of engagement with the notch 85 in the rear disk 72, as shown in Fig. 10, the rotative movement of the rear disk, as above set forth, under the action of the intermediate disk and the connecting awl 83, causes the other pawl 95 to pass orwardly over the periphery of the front disk and into position over the notch 96 in said front disk and in the latter part of this movement the pivot of said pawl passes the dead center position with respect to the spring 97, so that said spring forces said pawl into engagement with said notch 96, as shown in Fig. 10. The angular movement of the rear disk 72, effected as above described, brings the lug 92 on said disk into position within the recess 69 in the disk 68 on the shaft 58. This position, shown in Fig. 10, is the position for forward movement, the switch having been closed by movement of the front disk 70, as above set forth, and the switch closing the circuit to the motor through the connections 'above described and also energizing the electromagnet 55, the armature of said magnet being thereby operated to withdraw the stop lever 52 from the recess in disk 50 and the motor then operating-through the gears 45, 44, shaft 40, pinions 38 and 39 and gear wheels 36 and 37 to rotate both of the drums,

18 and 19 in the same direction and wind the curtain 22 off of the lower drum and onto the upper drum.

It will be understood that as the curtain is wound onto the upper drum, the effective radius of the upper drum is increased by an amount representing the thickness of the,

tory maintains pressure on the push button,

thereby holding 'the controlling devices in position shown in Fig. 10 andat each rotation of the lower drum, the pin 61 on gear 37 engages with the rounded plate 62 on the detent means 63 to release said detent means from the wheel 60, and then, passing between two of the teeth of said wheel, turns said wheel the distance of one tooth, the detent means snappingback to position to lock the wheel as soon as the pin has passed 03 of the rounded plate 62. The shaft 58 and the disk 68 thereon are thereby advanced step by step and at a predetermined time in the operation of the apparatus which is determined by the length of the recess 69 in the disk 68, the rear end of said recess comes into engagement with the lug 92 on the rear disk 72 and turns said lug and rear disk rearwardly, that is to say, in the opposite direction to that to which they were moved by the action of the controlling member 73. In this back movement of the rear disk 72, the lug 82 thereon moves back to the rear end of the recess 81 in the intermediate disk 73 and in this movement of disk 72, anchor 95 then engages with notch 96 for front disk 70 to return the front disk to position shown in Fig. 11, which is the normal position, the switch 57 being open in this position of the front disk. This opening of the switch 57 deenergizes the motor and also deenergizes the electromagnet 55, allowing the stop lever 52 to engage in the recess in the disk, and arresting the drums and the curtain in a definite position, this position being such as to expose one of the sets or lists of names on the directory on the curtain, so that the same can be inspected through the front glass plate 3. It will be noted that the eX-' tent to which the curtain has been rolled or wound up depends on the amount of revolution of the drums that takes place before the disk 68 engages with the lug 92 to push the same back to position shown in Fig. 11 and is therefore dependent on the length and position of the recess 69 in said disk.

The party having inspected the list, re-

leases the button 14 and the lever 75 moves back to normal position, carrying the arm 80 to position shown in Fig. 12. In this movement the pivot for the pawl 83 again passes-the dead center and the spring 86 throws said pawl back into engagement with the periphery of the rear disk- 72. In this back movement of the intermediate disk 73 under the action of the lever 75, the rear end of the recess 81 in said disk engages with projection 82 on the rear member 72, there by turning said rear member an additional amount in a rearward direction and the pawl 95 being at this time in engagement with a notch 96 in the front disk, said front disk is also turned an additional amount in a rearward direction to position shown in Fig. 12, thereby turning the switch 57 to position for reverse, the motor beingthereby energized in position to wind the curtain in the opposite direction and the electromagnet being then energized to again release the stop lever 52 to permit the curtain to be so operated. It will be noted that in this reverse movement of the curtain, the pin 61 on the lower gear engages with the rounded plate 62-on the detent means 63 and with the I teeth of the toothed wheel in the same manner as in the forward movement, but in a reverse direction. As the controlling member 73 completes its rearward movement under the action of the lever 75, .the pawl 95 again passes to position to carry the pivot thereof past the dead center with respect to the spring 97, so that the spring throws said pawl out of engagement with the periphery of the front disk 70. The n10- tor will continue to operate the drums in reverse direction to unwind the curtain from the upper drum onto the lower drum, and

when this unwinding operation has been fully performed,,the extra disk 68 on the shaft 58 engages by its tooth 71 with an from being thrown over at this time by the momentum, the spring 122 for said switch is preferably given a set or bias toward the reversing side, as shown. When the motor circuit is interrupted by restoration of the switch 57 to normal position, the electromagnet 55 is also deenergized and the stop lever 52 engages the disk 50 to arrest the parts in normal position, the elastic connection 46 allowing this arrest to be made suddenly and at definite position and permitting the motor to continue to rotate until its momentum has been exhausted.

In case the last button of the series is pushed the switch shaft is operated by the connection through the last controlling device shown in Fig. 20, the construction'of which is identical with that of the others, except that the lug 92 and the disk 68 are omitted. In the operation the arms 74 and 7 4' are moved from full line position in Fig. 21 to dotted line position which they retain until the revolution of shaft 58 brings tooth 71 into engagement with arm 74, restoring the switch to normal position, the curtain being then completely unwound. Then when the button is released the operation of the last controlling device throws the switch shaft to reversing position as above described, bringing the arms 74 and 74. to position shown in broken lines in Fig. 21, and as the. curtain completes its return move-- ment the tooth 71 on the extra disk engages arm 74 to return the switch shaft to normal.
